these images are garbage in terms of sharpness, just more evidence of why you should pick up the body-only version of this camera. Since these are JPEG images processed in camera I would wait for the RAW files to before coming to any real conclusions.

The new shots are something very different - very good quality.
They all state “52mm”, but I can’t find any 52mm lens for the Sony.
Generally speaking it would be a big leap forward for this site, if Exif data was included.
In my humble opinion, you cannot test a camera through a lens that limits the perfomance of the sensor - in that case you are testing a lens, not a camera…

I have been trying very very hard to like this camera, but just about every image I see on the net is just not sharp and a lot of noise. I understand the better lens would improve things, but I have a P&S Canon SX40 HS and I have no doubt that my images are just as good as anything I have seen from the a6000. I want to upgrade, just dont know what camera to buy.
